As one of the principal sponsors of the 2019 ICPhS taking place in Melbourne, the IPA is delighted to announce benefits for members attending the Congress:

REGISTRATION DISCOUNT

IPA members will receive a discount of AU$70 on the ICPhS registration fee, a sum that is in excess of the annual IPA membership fee (IPA membership will have to be valid at the point of ICPhS registration).

IPA STUDENT AWARDS

Student IPA members will be eligible to apply for an IPA Student Award. These will be set at GBP600, thereby providing significant assistance with the costs of participating in ICPhS. Applications for the awards will open on 15th February 2019 (the date on which the ICPhS acceptance announcements will be issued) and the application window will close on 1st March 2019. IPA membership will have to be valid at the point of application. The outcome of the Awards applications will be announced by 31st March. Funding will be available for up to 49 such Awards.

Further information about the Student Awards and about process for applying for them will be available soon, so please watch this space.

Thanks to Małgorzata Deroń, we now offer an “interactive” (clickable) IPA chart (“i-chart”) that combines three functions available separately elsewhere: phonetic symbol definitions and Unicode character information, playable audio examples, and a keyboarder function for phonetic transcription.

IPA charts with metatext in several languages (Catalan, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, French, German, Hebrew, Polish, Brazilian and European Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish) have been contributed by members and are temporarily available for comment here:http://linguistics.ucla.edu/people/keating/IPA/IPA_charts_2018_trans.html. The Journal of the IPA has previously published a chart in Chinese; for information about contributing translations for other languages, see this same webpage.
